Panel 2

Rupert T. Roach: "Indeed! T'would seem our erstwhile hero has committed a most grevious temporal faux-pas! The indignity!"
Rupert T. Roach: "In order that you, esteemed reader should not fall afoul of such shameful gaucherie, I will now endeavour to instruct you in the age-old rules of TIME-TRAVEL ETIQUETTE."

Panel 3

Rupert T. Roach (Narrating): "1) When traversing in either direction in the temporal continuum the considerate traveller will always pause to consider the possible paradoxical consequences of his or her actions."
A future Steve is shooting a laser beam at a present Steve with a KA-ZAP!
Future Steve: "Killing my past self is the only way to save the future!"
A Steve from the past INTERCEPT!s the laser beam to save the present Steve.
Past Steve: "Noo! My future-self is the only one who can save the past!"
Past Steve: "AKH!"
Present Steve: "...I'm not even going to try to work this one out."

Panel 4

Rupert T. Roach (Narrating): "2) It is presumptuous to be overly familiar with one's past or future self. Just because you are constructed from the same matter is no excuse for impropriety."
Future Beaver is trying to high-five Past Beaver.
Future Beaver: "Hey, Past-Me, high-five!"
Past Beaver: "At what point in the future do I learn those manners?"

Panel 5

Rupert T. Roach (Narrating): "3) And finally, in the case of universal implosion always be polite to the creator."
Steve: "...They just have these stupid black eyes and they eat bamboo all day. I mean, seriously, what were you thinking?"
The Creator looks annoyed.
The Creator: "Well how many space-time continua have you created lately?"

Panel 6

Rupert T. Roach: "So there you have it: Just follow these simple rules and you shall find yourself welcomed to any social gathering throughout eternity!"
Future Cyborg Rupert (with an electronic monocle and one metallic claw): "Capital!"
